Minecraft 1.8 & 1.7.5 News: Survival Adventuring Updates, Realms, Possible New Weapon/Combat System

Broadcasting live from the field fighting back zombie attacks with hard-hitting facts this is minecraft news hello and welcome to minecraft news breaking me the most news for your views i’m adam ak swimming bird live from the future in the mystical lands of version 1.8 and we’ve got some 1.8 news for you

Today as well as news about a secret unforeseen update 175 but first we’re gonna check in with dinner bone it’s got some news about what’s coming in the 1.8 Update so right now he’s working on what he calls the great inventory rewrite of 2014 cleaning up some of the code

Related to items hopefully alleviating some lag on servers and working towards the mod API but when he is done with that he’s going to take a look at some quote unquote adventure ii survival features that he has planned now if we look back at dinner buns recent ama on

Reddit he mentioned a few things that he’d like to do for 1.8 so some of these we could theorize might happen very soon so the big thing that he would redo about minecraft if he could is the combat system he’s always wanted to work on that and he’s got a lot of ideas

About it so that is a adventure you know survival feature that we might see he also likes the idea of trident weapons for a new weapon but he said any new weapon needs a reason to justify it so hopefully we’ll get a new weapon here to supplement the bow and sword but it

Needs to have another niche to fill enchantment that changes blocking on a sword could be fun he says but he thinks that it could better fit a different system he hopes to be working on soon so at the very least he’s hoping on changing something about combat we don’t

Know what so far he also wants to make hard mode harder and he wants to see one rare structure / biome which would make exploring and adventuring a lot more enjoyable for players and also the end needs new features or an update so Phylly will see some of this stuff

Likely i think getting rare structures and biomes is the most adventure of all these features but i’d like to see all of these get implemented so moving on here another developer sarish he actually tweeted recently about a poll he wanted to know between three different features what players wanted to see the most

Survival mod API or math and bat maker functions so here are the more accurate results to that pole fifty-four percent said survival forty-two percent said the mod API and only four percent said map and map maker updates such as new commands so this is very telling about

What the general player base or at least those who respond to tweets from the developers would like to see in the game so another poll he just tweeted out recently I’m going to post a link in the description if you guys want to reply to this how many of you enjoy playing

Minigames adventure maps or PvP events or watch them on YouTube you can answer yes or no and if you want to go into a little bit more of a description about that you can so i’ll post the link you guys can reply to his tweet to help get

Some more accurate results not just people who look at twitter but maybe some of you guys who might not have seen this can chime in so that they get a good idea about that now this is actually linked to the 175 news Jeb actually put out a video himself yes

He’s narrating this video and I will also link to that in the description it’s a video showing some of the features in Minecraft realms that is upcoming so the 175 is going to be an update seems to be focusing mainly on getting realms out to the rest of the

World right now it’s only available to Sweden so the big feature here is that you will have your minecraft realms server if you decide to subscribe and purchase one from mojang and you have a new ability in this new snapshot is the ability to switch your map out

Temporarily to be a minigame and he has a few examples in the video including siblings blocks versus zombies high pixels walls and FV discos cake defense too so the idea is that you will have your normal world if you wanted to play a minigame you could very easily switch

Out to this map temporarily it’ll be a fresh minigame map that they have a bunch of examples stored and then you could click and it will easily switch back to your normal map and go back to your normal world so if you’re playing on a survival world with your friends

You want to play a quick round of blocks versus zombies you can do that and then go straight back to your world you have to worry about doing any fussing and switching maps out and stuff it’s a very simple process in the menu there now a few other details about minecraft realms

If you’ve forgotten since it will be coming soon the monthly subscription is thirteen dollars or so a month which is you know give or take a little higher than some services you could do but you will get a discount if you subscribe to their service for longer and the other

Restriction on it is you will have 10 players allowed on your server max with a 20 invite or waitlist limit so these are smaller more personal servers but they’re also not that expensive and they are integrated right into minecraft themselves so love to see how responsive they are how much uptime downtime and

Everything to hopefully see whether these Rome surfaces are worth a purchase but anyways thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed some of this news I’m very excited to see what dinner bone is going to add in 1.8 more survival more adventure features that’s more of what

I’d like to see hopefully you guys do too so go respond to sarah’s just pull if you want to input your opinion on it and thank you guys for watching as always please leave a like if you enjoyed this i will see you next time for more minecraft news goodbye you Oh
